A beloved tote is many people's first choice for a carry-all. But while the name can usually bring to mind utilitarian canvas or screen-printed designs, these casual materials aren't the only choice when it comes to this versatile type of bag.
If you prefer a more luxurious look that's made to last, a leather tote by a designer brand is a great option, especially while it's on major sale. Right now, Coach Outlet is selling its $398 City Tote Bag for only $135. Although it was originally 58% off, you can get an additional 20% discount on this bag and other select styles for a limited time. (Talk about good timing for last-minute gift shopping.)
Coach City Tote, $135 (was $398) at Coach Outlet
This simple yet elegant bag features an open-top design that allows you to easily access all of your belongings — though it still has a snap at the top for security. "This is my five-star perfect bag," said one shopper. "I've been rocking it to work for the past two years and I've gotten numerous compliments on it. I love this bag as part of my collection."
It is just over 11 inches high and 13 inches wide, which is just large enough to fit compact tablets, laptops, and e-reading devices. Its handles have a 10-inch drop and are large enough that they can be slung over the shoulder, but small enough that you can hold them on your arm or hand without hitting the ground.
The bag is available in either a coated canvas or leather material, and there are currently 12 options to choose from. One satisfied shopper wrote, "Love the color, love that it’s versatile, love that it holds EVERYTHING!"
We won't judge if you are shopping for yourself, but if you do happen to be hunting for a Christmas gift, you will want to order this purse before the end of the day to make sure that it arrives on time!
